Thought provoking & incredible spur to action

Just read Igor's ezine story about how he started his ad agency, and he delivered this incredible punchline: Most breakthroughs don’t arrive as big ideas; they show up as small decisions that quietly solve a real problem. I'm sure you'll understand that great truth and hope it will inspire you to take action💪🏼✍🏼📰

Amanda Harper 'Flips The Playbook' on the convention NY resolutions with this great article: As we edge closer to 2026, I’ve been thinking about something that matters far more than goal-setting. Not what you want to do next year. But who you need to be for those goals to actually happen. I read something recently from Peter Sage that stuck with me. This time of year isn’t just about slowing down, it’s about preparing for a leap. The identity you step into now dictates the results you see later. And honestly…that’s where most plans fall apart. We set targets, write lists and promise ourselves this year will be different. But we don’t change the person showing up to make that happen. So before you rush into 2026 with another set of resolutions, I want to invite you to pause and work on the foundations instead… Identity, habits, mindset and consistency. Below is a curated set of resources I genuinely recommend. They’re practical, grounded and designed to give you a brilliant new year without burnout. Take what resonates with you, ignore what doesn’t and save the rest for later. Start here: Identity before outcomes James Clear explains this better than anyone. This short piece alone can change how you approach goals permanently: https://jamesclear.com/identity-based-habits If you want the full framework behind that idea:https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits Podcasts for long walks, drives or thinking time These are all great listens when you want to recalibrate how you’re showing up day to day. Finding Mastery (performance, psychology, resilience):https://findingmastery.com I particularly love this episode with Brene Brown: https://findingmastery.com/podcasts/brene-brown/ Optimal Living Daily (short, daily mindset resets):https://open.spotify.com/show/1hygb4nGhNhlLn4pBnN00j

Honestly, last month was tough. There was a point midway through the month when I almost gave up because it didn’t look possible at all. But I kept showing up, stayed consistent, and that made all the difference. 💪 Consistency really does pay off, even when progress feels slow.
